Responsibility all round

I nearly agree with you, SAS. Security is about preventing intrusions, and information leakages, from all sides, and that means both individuals and businesses. Users must be educated, but no-one can pretend they don't have responsibility. Businesses (suppliers and end user companies) must play their role too. As to whether the Government is being heavy-handed, shouldn't we be grateful that it's interested?
